Question

2. None of the clocks used long ago were accurate. Accurate in the sentence means (Inferential)
a. free from error
b. comparable
C. very useful
d. efficient​

Answer 1

The correct answer is option a) free from error.

• The word accurate means something correct to the last details or something perfect.

• The clocks used long ago did not work on the mechanism used today. They were mostly made according to the movement of the shadows created by the sun or by dropping the sand from one part of the glass to another.

• These were not efficient enough, and there was no proof that these methods were accurate. The time shown by these methods may have been faulty. They could have been faster or slower than the correct time.
